<span style="color:#1155CC">Marine and Community Conservation Remote Externship</span></a>, a collaboration between the National Geographic Society, The Nature Conservancy, and Paragon One, is designed to inspire the next generation of environmental leaders
and changemakers. In this 8-week virtual externship, students will translate global marine conservation issues into a local context, making them relevant and accessible to their communities, and offer solutions to a local or regional problem. Students will
learn about marine conservation careers throughout the externship from weekly webinars featuring NGS and TNC experts, their own research, and informational interviews conducted with local conservation organizations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
